Oxygen vacancy-rich Fe(MoO) combined with MWCNTs for electrochemical sensors of fentanyl and its analogs.

Hundreds of thousands of people dying from the abuse of fentanyl and its analogs. Hence, the development of an efficient and highly accurate detection method is extremely relevant and challenging. Therefore, we proposed the introduction of oxygen defects into Fe(MoO) nanoparticles for improving the catalyst performance and combining it with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for electrochemical detection of fentanyl and its analogs.

A penalized variable selection ensemble algorithm for high-dimensional group-structured data.

This paper presents a multi-algorithm fusion model (StackingGroup) based on the Stacking ensemble learning framework to address the variable selection problem in high-dimensional group structure data. The proposed algorithm takes into account the differences in data observation and training principles of different algorithms. It leverages the strengths of each model and incorporates Stacking ensemble learning with multiple group structure regularization methods.

Combined Effects of Stress, Gas Adsorption, and Temperature on the Evolution of Coal Seam Permeability and Slippage Effect.

The complexity of the evolution of the permeability of coal is determined by the reservoir structure. Further, there exists an interaction between the fracture matrix, which further complicates changes in permeability. When the actual mining conditions of a coal mine are considered, a permeability model that considered the combined effects of stress, gas adsorption, and temperature was proposed.

Study on the influence of slit structure on safe and efficient directional fracture blasting effect.

In order to study the influence of slit structure on the blasting effect of slit charge, the super dynamic strain test system and photographic equipment were used to study the dynamic response of slit charge blasting and the distribution of blasting cracks under different slit shapes and slit angles. The results show that changing the shape of the slit does not make the energy-gathering and damage-reducing blasting effect of the slit cartridge disappear, but it will affect its effect. Compared with the round hole slit, the peak strain in the slit direction of the strip slit cartridge blast is larger, the directional crack forming is more obvious, and the blasting effect is better.

A series of ultrasensitive electrocatalysts Fe-MOF/MWCNTs for fentanyl determination.

Electrochemical determination of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl is meaningful but still challenging no matter from a social or academic perspective. Herein, we report a series of novel electrocatalysts based on Fe-containing metal-organic frameworks and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fe-MOF/MWCNTs). The obtained Fe-MOF/MWCNT electrode materials all show ultrasensitivity on fentanyl determination.

Chitosan Sponge/Cu-WO Composite for Photodynamic Therapy of Wound Infection.

One of the potential treatments for bacterial wound infections is photodynamic therapy. WO semiconductor materials can generate reactive oxygen species when exposed to light, which can inactivate bacteria. In this work, we improved their photocatalytic performance by doping WO with Cu.

GSEA-SDBE: A gene selection method for breast cancer classification based on GSEA and analyzing differences in performance metrics.

Motivation: Selecting the most relevant genes for sample classification is a common process in gene expression studies. Moreover, determining the smallest set of relevant genes that can achieve the required classification performance is particularly important in diagnosing cancer and improving treatment.

Results: In this study, I propose a novel method to eliminate irrelevant and redundant genes, and thus determine the smallest set of relevant genes for breast cancer diagnosis.
